I have a dual Dynon 1000 EFIS setup in my -12. The left one is a SkyView Touch and the right one is a SkyView Classic. The left screen has the RV-12 / Dynon logo. The right screen has only the older Dynon logo. That kind of annoys me and I was wondering if that is normal.
Here is what I think happens.
I just got my left screen back from repair from Dynon (rainbow of death, among other things). As part of the process they update the software before returning it. Everything in my plane had been at 15.3.2. The returned screen was at 16.x. So it was necessary to get everything to the same software rev. Vans has a "blessed" version of Dynon software (version 16.4.0) along with configuration files tested and known to work well with the -12. They also have a nice writeup document explaining the software and configuration loading procedure.
I downloaded everything and followed the procedure for loading software and configurations. The software (SkyView-16.4.0.9609-dynon_update_Classic.dup) and sensor file (sensor_68996.sfg) is loaded on both screens. But the upgrade procedure specifically says only load the big master configuration file (12_Rotax_912ULS_SkyView_Settings_v16.4.0_09-16-22.dfg) in the left display. After loading the master config file as well as a few smaller ancillary config files, the configuration is transferred to the right hand display.
The big master config file has a couple of lines that read...
This big master config file never gets loaded directly onto the right hand display and so I am guessing that it never got commanded to check its bios version level or update the splash screen to the RV-12 logo. I noticed on the left hand display the bios was definitely updated as part of the overall update procedure but not on the right hand display.
Anybody else done a software update on a dual Dynon SkyView cockpit? Do you see the RV-12 logo on both displays or only on the left hand display?
